Position Overview:
We are seeking a skilled and hands-on engineering leader to join our team as a Software Engineering Manager for Producer Solutions. In this hybrid role, you'll spend roughly half of your time supporting and developing a small, remote-first engineering team, and the other half contributing directly to our C#/.NET and Azure-based applications. You'll lead by example, clearing obstacles and shaping the conditions for strong engineering practices to flourish while both improving established systems and bringing some new concepts to life. While not required, significant experience with stacks other than .NET or prior work across multiple simultaneous architectural paradigms will be considered a strong plus.
Key Responsibilities:
Qualifications:
Significant experience in professional software engineering, including hands-on development in C#/.NET and cloud-based applications (Azure preferred).
Solid understanding of frontend fundamentals (JavaScript, CSS, HTML)
Demonstrated success leading engineers, ideally in a remote-first or distributed team environment.
A leadership approach centered on empowerment, collaboration, and high-trust team environments.
Strong grounding in modern engineering practices, including code quality, testing, continuous improvement, collaborative design, and AI-assisted development.
Familiarity with multiple architectural paradigms and the ability to reason about maintainability, modernization, and technical tradeoffs.
Clear, effective communication skills, with the ability to support cross-functional alignment and translate technical topics for diverse audiences.
Ability to navigate a fast-moving environment with evolving requirements and complex sets of priorities
Experience with Ruby on Rails or other non-.NET stacks is a plus, but not required.
Experience in the beverage-alcohol or manufacturing domain is a plus, but not required.
